M IL L E R INS TIT U T E OF SHORTHAND 1450 Broadway at 41st St., N. Y. City FOURTééN Y OUR son has come home for the holidays, and as you go with him to his room, you are startled to find that it is his arm that falls over your shoulder rather than yours over his. Your certainty that the unaccus- tomed neatness of his room will soon yield to his talent for confusion is met by his calm assurance that everything is just the way It was when he left. "Oh, but wait a minute. I've got a . f " h . " I surprIse or you, e contInues. didn't leave my suitcase on the train, dId I?" And you know he is not so much changed inside as out. "N 0, you didn't leave it on the train," you mildly assure him. "You'll find it on the floor in the hall, where you dropped it." As he staggers into the room bur- dened with an enormous Gladstone, you sit on the scarred mahogany bed, the better to see what contents wil1 emerge. Remembering previous sur- prises in the form of magnificent cellu- loid elephants, football helmets, and gilded ship models made for you by his own hands in the workshop, you pre- pare yourself for the revelation. Y ou hope that your vocabulary will not fail you as it did last year, when the "sur- prise" was a shrill and inaccurate ren- d . . f " T " h ltlon 0 aps on a saxop one. "Now, you look away while I open the bag. No, I guess you can watch," he concedes. "I t' s really a wonderful surprise. At school, they say nobody except a professional could do it so well." AS the familiarly grimy fingers strug- n. gle with the lock, you note with interest that for so brief a journey he has seen fit to close the bag with its key, to secnre its treasured con ten ts. With a flourish reminiscent of Houdini, he finally succeeds in opening the suit- case, whIch, even to your comparative- ly dull imagination, has taken on the attributes of Pandora's box. His hands, better adapted to foot- balls and baseball bats than to opening the rather tedious fasteners of the shirt compartment, take on the exquisite sus- pense of those of a jeweller about to exhibit a rare pearl to a customer who is sure to buy. At his insistence, you turn your attention to the piece of lug- gage now open beside you, and your amazement at its size increases as you discover that except for absolute es- sentials, such as a toothbrush and pa- jamas, it seems to be empty. At last, however, you are initiated DECEMDEI\ 1 7, l' 32. - ,;:.t,' \.': .:Y.,..... "".,',4.::.,',) ,..,":: ,'.','.' ""'.
